Onyx Nylon General Purpose Life Jacket - Adult Universal - Red
The Onyx Nylon General Purpose Life Jacket is a U.S. Coast Guard-approved Type III personal flotation device built for recreational boating, fishing, paddling, and general water activities. Available in adult universal sizing with a high-visibility red color, this life jacket combines practical comfort with dependable buoyancy for anyone spending time on the water—whether you're launching from a dock, heading offshore, or exploring calm lakes and rivers.
Built from durable 200-denier nylon and 150-denier poly-twill, the Onyx delivers lightweight flotation foam that won't weigh you down during extended wear. The open-sided design keeps you cool and mobile, while generously sized armholes let you move freely whether you're casting, paddling, or working the boat. Adjustable belts and a chest strap ensure a secure, personalized fit so the jacket stays in place during active use.
As a Type III PFD, this jacket meets federal safety standards for recreational water use and is legal to wear on any vessel. It's the practical choice for boaters and water enthusiasts who want reliable flotation without the bulk or restriction of heavier gear.
